The ship's Romanian captain was also killed in the strike, and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has accused Iran of being behind the atrocity, which the regime denies. Speaking on a visit to Airbus in Stevenage, Herts, Mr Johnson said: “Iran should face up to the consequences of what they have done and accept the attribution that the Foreign Secretary has made. “This is clearly an unacceptable and outrageous attack on commercial shipping – a UK national died. "We believe this attack was deliberate, targeted, and a clear violation of international law by Iran," he said. British maritime security firm Ambrey said the attack, which saw a hole blasted through the vessel's bridge, killed one of its employees aboard.
